P45 Slide problem

3711 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  TENWOLVES
Sent my P45 back to Kahr, who replaced my slide. Again another problem due to a bad magazine catch, which they sent me a new one. Finally spent the $ for a gunsmith who reconditioned entire gun (polished all metal parts) and performed a frog lube. Gun working perfectly! No jams! Worth the investment, especially if this is for self defense. Can't afford jams.

I used Frog lube on both my FNS 9mm's, and find this dry lube to be worth the effort it takes to put it on, my guns stay a whole lot cleaner, which is a good thing, but even more it seems to function better with this lube, I've been a big believer in GUN-BUTTER, for several years now, and still am, but Frog -Lube has me re-thinking my needs for lubrication...

I have heard of Frog Lube having problems in freezing temperatures. Don't know for sure, just say'n.
My understanding of this is toooo much Frog Lube was applied, and clumped up in the striker area, this can be avoided by turning the slide over and heating it with a hair dryer so the excess will fall free of the striker area by just running out, this takes a little more time, but I think its worth it, where I live we have a lot of freezing weather,, and so far no problems with either of my Frog Lubed guns, maybe after more time that will chamge, but I think what I did by making sure the striker channel is clean makes the difference...
